I’m extremely excited to announce our first ever CodeCanyon competition. For those unfamiliar, Envato recently launched its newest marketplace, focused specifically on selling high-quality scripts and components for PHP , JavaScript, ASP .NET, and Java. As we’ve only recently launched, we’re hoping to build up our repository with a host of fantastic scripts and components, across all of the categories.

We’re launching this new marketplace with a bang; we have over $6000 worth of prizes to giveaway to three talented developers.

How Do I Enter?

Quite simply! To enter, prepare an item (PHP, JS, ASP .NET, or Java) of your choice for CodeCanyon, and once it has been submitted and accepted on the site, leave a comment with a link to your item in this posting. That way, we can track it! That’s all! Then, on March 1st, 2010 (CST), my review staff and I will filter through all of the submissions and choose the best three of the bunch!

Your item will be included in a collection of the three winning submissions, and will be promoted on the front page of CodeCanyon

As an Envato marketplace author, you’ll earn 40-70% of every sale!

What Kind of Item Should I Submit?

We’ll that’s entirely up to you! That’s where you get to be creative. With that said, you’ll want to think of an item that will appeal to a wide variety of buyers. Ask yourself, “what sort of script or component – that’s not widely available around the web for free – have I often found myself in need of? Remember that, at this time, we’re only accepting PHP , JavaScript, ASP .NET, and Java related items.
